Ukraine Energy Information

Ukraine Energy Research

- Ukraine's Energy & Climate Policy Framework: Ukraine’s energy sector faces severe war damage but aims for 50% renewables & nuclear by 2035, with EU market integration by 2027.

- Ukraine's Energy Companies: Ukraine’s energy sector is dominated by state-owned Naftogaz (oil/gas) and Energoatom (nuclear), with DTEK leading coal and renewables. Infrastructure heavily damaged by war.

- Ukraine's Energy Supply & Demand: Ukraine’s energy sector faces severe disruption post-invasion, with 28% power drop in 2022, 100% oil import reliance, and 90% thermal plant damage by 2026.

- Ukraine's Energy Use & Price by Sector: Buildings consume half of Ukraine’s energy; oil dominates transport, gas declines, electricity rises. Prices fluctuate due to market shifts and policy changes.

- Ukraine's Issues & Prospects: Ukraine’s energy sector faces USUSD 90bn reconstruction costs, with delays due to war. EU integration and SMR projects progress, while renewables and storage lag.

Ukraine Total Energy Production & Consumption

Primary energy consumption increased in 2024 for the first time since 2021, reaching 65 Mtoe (+2%), after a 3% decrease in 2023 and a 28% drop in 2022. Between 2010 and 2022, consumption dropped by 3.5%/year on average. At 1.7 toe, total energy consumption per capita is 56% below the CIS average.

Natural gas accounts for 27% of this consumption, while primary electricity represents 24% (22% of which is nuclear). Coal (22%), oil (21%) and biomass (5%) complete the energy mix.

Ukraine Oil Production & Consumption

Ukraine produced 2.2 Mt of crude oil in 2024, a year-on-year 8% increase and the second consecutive yearly gain after 2023 (+5%), covering around 63% of its consumption. At the beginning of the war in 2022, production decreased by 8%. Between 2010 and 2020, production decreased by 3.5%/year on average.

Oil consumption continued to grow in 2024, rising by 4% to 4 Mt after a first increase of 5% in 2023. In 2022, consumption had dropped by 18%. Between 2010 and 2021, however, oil consumption followed a downward trend, declining by an average of 6%/year.

Ukraine Coal and Lignite Production & Consumption

As of May 2023, around 60% of the country's coal deposits are temporarily occupied by Russia (mostly in the Donetsk hard coal basin (Donbas)). At the end of 2021, 47 coal mines were currently in operation, compared to 151 in 2013 before Russia occupied the Donbas region in 2014. As of end of 2024, 85 mines are located in the Ukrainian territories temporarily occupied by Russia.

Ukraine Renewable in % Electricity Production

SAEE, the State Agency for Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation,is in charge of implementing the policy on renewables and alternative fuels.

The target set by the National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP, 2014) for a share of renewables of 11% of final energy consumption in 2020 (11% for electricity, 12.4% for heating, and 10% for transport) was missed by 2 pp (9.2%, including 13.9% for electricity, 9.3% for heating, and 2.5% in transport).

Ukraine GHG emissions and CO₂ emissions

In its updated NDC (2021), Ukraine committed to cut its GHG emissions by 65% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels (including LULUCF) and to reach carbon neutrality by 2060. This reduction target was confirmed in the second NDC released in November 2025, which also advanced Ukraine's carbon neutrality goal from 2060 to 2050.
